things I see
I forgot to write this – a few weeks ago we saw a bald eagle swoop right by our car in the way to the gym, not two blocks from our house. Totally awesome and completely unexpected. I wonder where he lives and what brought him here? (ETA: OK apparently I was with Jenny when this happened [on her visit], whoops. Gettin’ my JJs confused.)
Today at the coffeeshop I saw a very typically Midwestern Mom having coffee with her adorable tween daughter who appeared to be adopted. I eavesdropped for a moment on their how-to-deal-with-friends conversation. It made me smile.
Now I am eating fresh, toasted wheat sourdough from the amazing Patisserie 46 with melted butter, listening to 99.5 and drinking my fancy latte. Soon to swim, sew, make cards and make soup.
I lead a pretty ordinary, pretty extraordinary life.
